re: #579 lawhawk

Whoa… what fresh hell have we entered here tonight. Trolls airlocked left and right and Charles on the warpath over that and Spencer.

Spencer did you wrong Charles, and you deserve to be pissed at him. More to the point, you have every right to be disappointed in the guy for standing with the Eurofascists and then watching him shrug and attempt a lame-ass Who me? Alfred E Neuman imitation. It’s unbecoming for him.

I don’t know where he went wrong, but I am sorely disappointed in the guy for hanging with the kind of crowd that would just as soon as throw me under the bus as the Islamic terrorists when given the opportunity. In the meantime, he offers up his legitimacy as a counter-jihad expert to these fringe groups and undermines the cause he fights for. Disappointing probably doesn’t begin to cover it, but I am disappointed in him and those who flock to his support and who haven’t thought this out.

If he had simply posted something like:

“I didn’t read what was on that Facebook page before joining the group, and I apologize for being careless. I renounce their views and want nothing to do with haters like that. It won’t happen again.”

I would have posted something like:

“Robert Spencer apologizes for joining this group, and says he doesn’t support their hateful views. Good enough for me.”

But instead, he’s concocting ludicrous conspiracy theories and throwing them out to his nutjob sycophantic followers like gobs of red meat.

Scum.
